“What is an adobo?” We hear this question quite often at the shops. The definition from most sources describes a dish of marinated vegetables and meat or fish served with rice. The Philippines are most often given credit for the dish, although Mexico has a long history of adobo making. Digging a little deeper, we found that the word adobo comes from Old Spanish word adobar, which means to stew. Because marinating vegetables and meat or fish is a common everyday process, this opens up a world of opportunities. The basic difference with an adobo style marinade is that vinegar is always used as the tenderizer.
